Been a relatively happy owner of a Nuvi 660, minus a few significant incidents.

Nuvi once suggested that the fastest, shortest route to a destination was a long abandoned mountain road in the middle of nowhere, causing me to almost be stranded in the middle of the wilderness instead of taking a fast, commonly used freeway that would have been just a few extra miles.

Garmin has release3d new mapping software. I have two C340s. Does anyone know if I can load this software on both, or will it self destruct after the first?

There is new firmware for the Nuvi 600 series GPS. It is dated Oct 31, 2007 and is version 4.2. I downloaded it last night and my NUVI 660 seems to geta fix faster and maps update faster.

Suggest anyone with a NUVI 6XX go to Garmina nd download the update.

Anyone notice that none of the nüvi 2xx units are listed on Garmin's software download page?

I take the newly opened I-355 tollroad extension in the Chicago area. A beautiful 6 lane new highway, great shortcut. Of course, Garmin has not updated maps yet, so I love watching my little blue car take to the air and fly over farms and the Illinois river, very "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" like. Didn't know the little car had it in her, LOL.

I just delivered flyers for Walmart in Grand Rapids MI that advertised a C330 for $128 during the after Thanksgiving sale. I wonder how many of these things they actually have. I wonder if any local Garmin fans would want to fight the crowds to see if they get one. It certainly would be a good price. I paid $249 for mine on sale.

I have subscribed, on Garmin's website, to receive an e-mailed notification when the software is updated.
So far, there have already been s/w updates for my 350 & 660 - never got any alert!
And no, it's not about firewalls, spam filters, etc; always Garmin's (other) e-mails got through...
So, what's the catch?

Picked up a c330 on Friday from Walmart and it has what appears to be c340 firmware on it. Tried to update with webupdate and it says there are no new updates.

Anyone else come across this?

May end up taking this back if the local BestBuy has the nuvi200 on BF...otherwise, will go back for the $50 price difference at Walmart.

is there somebody here got garmin nuvi 660 i just wanna ask something...

Ok, how do some of you get the two dots over the u in "Nuvi"?

My parents are interested in getting a GPS and want to know the difference between the StreetPilot and nüvi.

Is the StreetPilot being phased out and replaced by the nuvi?

The models seem to overlap in features. Is there a key difference that I'm missing?

Bought Garmin's SP330c 16 months ago. Warrantied for 1 year. Worked great. Ordered 2008 update ($75 with shipping), then the SP 330c quit on me. Goes on only when on external power, but will not acquire satellites. Does not charge under any method (usb or 12v.) Canceled the 2008 update immediately.

does the 260 announce redlight camera warning if u included mp3 file like the 350?

I ordered my map udate online about 2 months ago now for my Nuvi 350 (CD ROM) and it has yet to arrive in the mail. Whats the average wait time for a single CD? Seems a tad prolonged to me?!

hello everybody im new here on the site... i just bought my garmin nuvi 660 1 week ago and i accidentaly save the fodors on my garmin so it went to extras.. and i was checking my gps i noticed that its already on my travel kit too so it means i got fodors on my extra and in my travel kit... my question is is there a possible way that i can delete that fodors on my extras features???
